It isn’t just silencing the warning, it’s also generating smaller code. When calling a function that doesn’t return, the compiler doesn’t have to emit any code to handle the return path - no registers or stack slots are going to be live after the call and so it doesn’t have to bother saving anything. It probably only saves 2-3 instructions at most call sites, but across a few hundred calling locations that can add up to a lot.
